Taillight screws
Anybody know what type and size screw holds in the taillight?
I just lost one coming home from work, and want to know what to ask for at Home Despot when I can get there.

Ok, so you told him the length and wrench size that fits the head. Nothing here is the screw size. If I was home, I would measure it for you, but what is listed is not the diameter of the screw, which is what you need to know.

Every dealer I have ever used has lots of loose fasteners laying around for their service department to use ... assuming they are the least bit interested in customer service, they will find a single screw for a customer (and hopefully not even charge for it).

any auto parts store or hardware store. (Ace, lowes, home depot) i'm sure if you drove the vette to the service bay and asked someone "excuse me sir, do you have one of these?" he may pull open a drawer and just give you one... no way in heck i'd talk to a service advisor, drop my car off, leave it there for 5 hours for a screw

I can't get past wondering how you lost one of these on your way home from work. They don't normally have a habit of backing out on their own, especially that kind of application. If you know it happened on the way home from work, there must be a good story that goes along with this you should share with the rest of us.
I couldn't find the screw at any of the local dealers, so I used a fairly closely-matching non-factory screw, and blue Loctited the sucker in place.
